One of the most ADDICTIVE GAME ever!

I am not such a big fan of flash based gaming online. Probably because there isn't much challenge in it and it is usually doesn't have that many levels. Plus it is so repetitive, it gets boring after a while.

But I have to say this game has got to be one of the best I have every played. At first glance, the graphics and color can really put you off. It reminded me of the first Duke Nukem game I played years back, but when I saw the good ratings it had, I thought I'd give it a try.

Caution: Once you play, you might not stop playing.

Just a little reminder before you proceed playing, because I am awake playing this game all night.

ObjectiveAnyway, if you like shooting games, with some strategy involved. This is the game for you. Basically you have to shoot hordes of enemies coming towards you. Each level will tell you which direction they are coming from and it is up to you to place your missile launcher where you deem fit. And each level has a different mission, so read carefully what is your mission and make it your priority because you can easily loose yourself in the action.

There are many different types of levels and each gets more challenging as you progress. And in case you get bored of the normal game play, there are other game modes like Survival, Armageddon etc.

EnemiesThey are machines; tanks, hovercrafts, etc which doesn't attack you rather it tries to get to the other side before you shoot them off into pieces. Now each enemy 'dies' differently. As you play along, you realise that each of them play a pivotal role it the outcome of the game.

UpgradesAs you gain experience points, you can upgrade your missile launcher. You can also have different types of missiles at your disposal, but mind your energy bar because each missile launch drains it. But don't worry it will recharge, you just have to make sure you are not totally empty as the recharging takes some time.

There are other upgrades in the game which it is going to be confusing if I explain it to you. Don't worry, when you upgrade, you just hover your mouse over the upgrade icons and it will tell you what each of those upgrade does.

BonusesAs you play in the game, bonus icons will appear which you have to click if you want to use it. But be quick, because they won't be there long. Anyway, don't worry, it tells you when it will expire.

Some bonus, gives you a quicker recharge, some gives you more firepower, sometimes they give you the power to annihilate your enemies by using a Nuke. The fun part is seeing your enemies exploding into pieces. And it has a chain reaction effect if you kill the right enemy.

That should summarise it. The game is pretty simple to understand as you play along.Go ahead and try it out. But be warned, this game is really, really addictive.
